I stayed here twice, once in the old building and once in the current building, both time in the twin room. The room was nice with a big window and lounge, good value for the price. It smelt around the dorm rooms, so I'm glad I didn't stay in there.

Stayed here for 4 nights in single room, bed is comfortable and room very clean, toilet on each floor and 3 bathrooms on the ground floor, no problem at all during my stay, don't have to wait or queue. Surprisingly quiet for a hostel so can sleep well. One plus point was there is a washing machine and dryer on...

First,I very worry about late check-in cause I arrived very late night.But hostel said ok and told me how to get to my room very clear.Around that place easy to find 24hr shop for grab some food.And another guest so nice.

I took 1 room for 4 person... It's very cheap.... The location is very strategic... Near from sevel and subway station and bus stop.. Their accommodation very near from gion area.... Very recommended hostel... Their hostel clean too....

This is a low budget hostel and my suggestion if you have a little bit more money please stay somewhere else. The staff is not friendly and they are kind of rude, to tell people do not do this, do not do that. I think they just do not want to work or do anything. You have to pay to...

Last summer I visited Kyoto and chose this hostel to stay for only 1 night. I arrived late about 9 pm and the hostel was already closed and really dark. After one day then I wanted to check out, maybe 9 am and the worker asked me money due to earlier check out. I think it didn't make a sense,...

My friend and I stayed here on a recent visit to Kyoto—my friend had stayed here previously, so that is why we decided to book here.
Upon arrival, my friend was disappointed to see the hostel has actually moved a few doors down and is no longer at the quirky premises it was at previously.
I had a single room...

The hostel is very clean and has cool vibe with tatami mats and old pictures of Kyoto covering the walls. There is only one shared bathroom, which can get a bit crowded at times. However, the location is perfect and though everything is pretty basic I found all I need. The roof top is pretty cool to chill out and...

Compared to the rest of Kyoto the price for this hostel was pretty reasonable. It was pretty standard for a hostel, basically everything was shared.
The location however was fantastic. The neighbourhood had plenty of shrines and businesses to walk around. It wasn't too long to walk from Kyoto station and could reach Kiyomizu temple. And it was really close...

We paid for a private room for 2 for just one night in this hotel and the experience was good. The room was clean, and had some facilities like tv, sofa, hairdrier, free wifi and air conditioner but we didn't need to use it since our room had 2 wide windows with view to the river. They have one toilet...

Staying in Gion

Neighborhood Profile

Gion

Gion is Kyoto's famed Geisha District (called "Geiko" in Kyoto). Though Gion's many tea houses and entertainment restaurants are closed to foreigners, Geiko and Maiko in their traditional makeup with gilded hair in full kimono can be seen drifting the streets on their way to and from work, where they fan dance, sing, and play instruments for customers. Gion lights up at night, when the ancient-looking streets glow with lanterns along the river, where weeping willows catch the starlight and the air is warmed with conversation. Groups pass through to populate the restaurants and bars along the riverfront, but Gion still manages to be a mostly quiet district, due in large part to limited automotive traffic through many of its streets. Gion is a wonderful place to indulge in Kyoto's local and customary cuisines, and is best enjoyed after dark.
